A Duelists Brought to Grief.

Mr.. William Douglas relates this story Of
the old dueling days in the British army, and
of a famous officer. There was q certain
Frenchman in Paris, during the occupation
of that city by the allied army, who boosted
of having killed dozen English officers, and
promised to go on in this work. One even
ing he staggered as usual into his cafe, and
to his establishment actually saw one of those
hated "Anglais" occupying his chair, chair
that no one hitherto had dared to sit upon
except himself. Mastering his passion he
undid his sword belt, and having placed his
sword on one side, began to insult the per-
fectly inoffensive English officer who sat so
unconscious looking in his the Frenchman's)
chair. He trod upon the Englisbman's
toes, he deprived him of his candles; he
went from one thing to another without at
all being able in the least, apparently, to dis
turb the others placidity.
At last he snatched the newspaper out Of
the Englishmans hand; and the Briton
slowly rose up, displaying to the astonished
eyes of the Gaul Guardsman nearly seven
feet high. The giant, bending across the
table, seized hold Of the Frenchman's nose
with one hand and his chin with the other,
and wrenching his mouth open, spat down
his throat With howl the Frenchman,
holding his under jaw with both hands, ran
out Of the room. His jaw was broken; and
neither he nor any of his comrades was seen
again at that cafe. This Englishman was

their la ends or fathers, have purchased

it has been done, and when once lady has

How Fashions Originate.

eff the merchant tailOrs now In cOnventlon
in this city," said one Of our club men yester-
day. "think they can set the fashion and
make the gilded youth of this country follow
it by simply deciding in congress assembled
that such and such style of garment is to be
the mode, they are very much mistaken. Inc
laws governing gentlemen's clothes are al
present set in England by London tallors.
When the tailors want to introduces certain
cut or cloth they ask some titled individual 70
wear garment Of that stuff or pattern, and
allow him to set the fashion; they don't try To
do it themselves You may remember the
fate of the mulberry colored dress suit which
was to take the place Of the conventional
cIawhammer few years ago. A more non
descript garment was never invented, ana tne
pictures of it in the windows were enough tc
kill it. Unless the tailors can show more or
ipinality. or rather more taste, than that
thew had better be content to follow theii
English brethren, or wait until we have some
one in this country who can set the fashion
az the Prince of w ales does abroad.
"The servility with which this distinguished
princes fads are followed is shown al
present in the fashion some OF our smart
young men have of leaving the lowest button
of their vest unbuttoned The story Is thai
the prince loosened this particular button one
evening after stag dinner, and that the ne1'
morning all the young men who had beer
present opeared III a similar state OF desha

Chinese Criminals In California.

About one-tenth of the criminals in the two
state prisons in California are Chinese. But
these convicted felons bear no just proportion
to the crimes convicted by Mongolians: for
it must always be borne in mind that the
Chinese on the Pacific coast represent only
the lowest and mcst reckless class Nine
tenths of them are coolies or virtual slaves,
half starved from birth and driven by stress
of hunger to crime These, swarming into
Canton and Hong Kong, came over to this
country when the gold rush began. and later,
when the Pacific railroads demanded an army
of laborers, the coolies were gathered up by
the thousand and shipped across the ocean.
They were natural adventures, and it is not
strange that in the newer land they robbed
and murdered as they had done at home

Ball of the "IncOherents.'

The annual ball of the Incoherents was
great success. The Incoherents are lot of
eccentric artists, of real ability, however,
who take delight in everything that is
bizarre. Nobody buys their pictures or reads
their books, of course. But they keep on
producing them and every year they hold a
grand masked ball. This year the club sur
passed itself. More outlandish costumes and
mad conceits never saw. The president of
the club made his entry habited as corpse.
He was carried in coffin, accompanied by
mourners, who carried lighted candles and
by the aid of onions-wept copiously. Another
man was arrayed as an Eiffel tower, and a
third was lass of the Salvation army There
was Sphinx and all Egyptian pyramid. One
man was entirely incased in hollow Ionic
column covered with sand paper to initiate
stone. There were also indescribable
"eclipses Of the moon," earthquakes, rag
pickers, the north pole, the Panama canal,
ST. Denis with his head under his arm, etc.

The Chinaman Has No Prejudfces.

An illustration of the difficulty attending
the discovery of the real condition of the
Chinese mind in regard to the progressive
policy obtaining in western countries is con-
tanned in the following anecdote, for the
authenticity of which the writer can vouch:
A bishop of the Episcopal church was return
ing from China with his servant, whom he
thought he had converted to Christianity
Whenever the bishop held services in the cabin
OF the steamer i'll which they both were pas
sengers, the servant attended and took part
very devoutly in the responses, etc. One day
a passenger observed the servant on his knees
worshiping an image of Buddha, with
candles and joss sticks, and he asked the ser
want if he was not a Christian, and ELECTED
the following reply: "As l am in the employ
ment of the bishop, it is my duty to observe
the Christian ceremonies when my master
does so; but when am acting for myself, of
course worship according to my own Budd-
hist faith."-Boston Advertiser
